Telegram can be used on a desktop PC without the need of a mobile smartphone. Especially useful for older people, who don't use smartphones.

It has tons of features, It's much faster and easier to use. Best encryption out there, is not controlled and monitored by Facebook.

They take security very seriously and all features you see on WhatsApp were introduced like a year before in Telegram.
With Telegram you can also have all your conversations sync on any device and you can easily find shared links, files, photos...

More a competition for skype then whatsapp. however there's nothing you can do on whatsapp that you cannot do on wire.
its trustworthy, has phone calls, can be used on PC/Mac as well.. registration with phonenumber is optional, which is nice.

You don't need to give your phone number for use. Still safe, good and nice chat app. On phone and on pc, web too.
